What do Gibbons Eat?

This image is titled "Gibbons at Play",The Hsuan-te Emperor (1399-1435) dated 1427Hanging scroll, ink and color on paper and came from the website asianart.com I usually don't use an internet image on my blog, but since this is over 500 years old, it might be ok and come under fair use. I just HAD to have a picture of a gibbons, and this was the best to be found and also it is beautiful.

I have a counter on my blog and can track certain stats, like how many people do visit it, what part of the world they are from, how they found me etc. I saw that my blog was accessed as a link when someone asked (Jeeves?) "what do gibbons eat?". And, of course since my name is Gibbons, and the title of my blog is EAT MAN DRINK WATER, I came up in the search. And the person actually checked out my blog. Might have been a quick in and out, but it gave me a real chuckle when I read it.

This gibbons tries to eat sensibly. I prefer to eat nothing from a can, nothing processed, and all organic. Of course, being on the run a lot, that is not always possible. I am pretty health consious, so I do the best I can to eat right. But when I am sad, or depressed, I hit the potatoes in any form (don't they stimulate the seratonin levels in the brain or something like that?) and there is no comfort better than either a grilled swiss cheese or BLT sandwhich with Hellman's Mayo smeared all over it. Oh, and chocolate milk and a pickle to boot. Not very healthy, but oh am I in heaven.

Rarely does anyone pick on me for my last name anymore, it has become a thing of the past but still a joke between my sister and I. Which reminds me, it is her birthday on friday and I must pack up the stuffed monkey, that pad of paper with a monkey on it, and oh, the monkey magnet I made her. She will get a chuckle out of it.

Painter, mixed media artist/designer and teacher, I am middle aged but not middle of the road. I live life with passion, and experience it in all its joys and sorrows. I live for my art and connecting with the beauty of the landscape, the arts, and the love of the people in my life. What an incredible honor it is to make such a journey.
